ABOUT OILWARE
Oilware’s mission is to provide high quality data management software products, consulting, and conversion services to our clients. Our focus has been to provide these products and services to the Petroleum Industry. Although most of our clients are in the energy sector, our services are increasingly requested by companies in all types of industries.
Oilware's staff possess a wealth of experience with software design and implementation. Areas of expertise include well log analysis, multi-user database design, graphic systems, data transfer formats, and real time data acquisition systems.
Our software products are designed to fit our clients' needs without including unnecessary components. Basically, we don't make our clients license software they don't need. This stream-lined approach represents a significant cost savings to our customers.
Our software has been successfully incorporated into end user software packages by many companies and are now in use throughout the world.
